Though Gerald was relieved, he still felt the need to see her with his own eyes before believing it. As he walked forward under the umbrellas held by the two guards from before, the guards who had guarded the door lined up in two rows, bowing respectfully as he walked past them. Inside, a few bodyguards who were dealing with the final procedures of the operation ran over when they saw Gerald entering. Just like the guards standing guard over the entrance, those present inside stood in two lines respectfully before bowing as well. “Mr. Crawford!” they shouted in unison. Tammy, Giya’s parents, and a few others were present in the room when that scene happened and they all looked at Gerald in shock. “Mr. Crawford?...” “Gerald… He’s that Mr. Crawford?” Tammy and the other girls she had brought along all quivered in fright. They now knew who his true identity was. Gerald didn’t bother about it since he wasn’t worried about Tammy and her group of friends at all. Howeve
“You’re right! Look at all the luxurious cars!” said the other girl. Lilian was momentarily stunned out of her daze when she saw that they were telling the truth. All of them were Maybach cars and every single one of them was worth as much as a single housing unit on the street they were currently in. Imagine getting married to a person from such a rich and powerful family… How envious the others would feel. Lilian sighed internally. ‘That god d*mn Sharon… I’m much more beautiful than she is yet Hayward still chose her! That b*tch!’ ‘The only thing Sharon is good at is pretending!’ Lilian was here because she had rented a house alongside her two other female colleagues there. Looking at all the Maybach cars refueled Lilian’s jealousy toward Sharon and she fumed. Soon after, the cars all left and everything returned to normal. As for Yacob, naturally, he was taken away by the police. The very next day, Gerald immediately headed to the hospital after he woke up to vis
Unfortunately, her condition had only worsened by the time her roommates woke her up. Her roommates then immediately rushed her to the hospital. Now that she had the drip on, she was finally starting to feel a little better again. Unexpectedly, she bumped into Gerald here! “Well, my friend’s been hospitalized here. I’m about to get her some porridge now,” said Gerald as he smiled. “Gerald? Oh! Is this the Gerald from your class who keeps running errands for rich heirs?” said one of the girls as she looked at Gerald with contempt. “Quilla! What are you talking about?” said Lilian in embarrassment. “What? Isn’t this the guy? Look, he’s even running an errand for a rich heir now! He said he was getting porridge for someone, remember?” sneered Quilla. Lilian’s face alternated between turning red and pale, unsure which emotion she should be feeling first. Quilla had always been like this. She had been this straightforward for as long as Lilian knew her. Honestly, Quill
The moment Gerald finally got his hands on some porridge, he felt a light pat on his shoulder. It was Lilian with a bag of food in hand. “Say, Gerald! You haven’t eaten yet, right? Come sit with me! I’ve just bought some delicious food from outside the hospital so let’s eat together!” “I’m fine. Aren’t you still on drips? Why are you here at the cafeteria?” asked Gerald as he smiled. He didn’t know why Lilian had suddenly become so enthusiastic. It was slightly uncomforting. However, despite the fact that she would often ridicule him, Gerald didn’t hold it against her at all. That was the only reason why he was still speaking politely to her. “I- I’m fine! I was fine the moment I saw you! You’re… Just like my medicine! Didn’t you know?” asked Lilian with a questionable smile on her face as she looked at Gerald. She was now standing very close to Gerald and her arm would rub against his from time to time. Gerald could feel goosebumps all over his body. To be honest,
“Be honest with me… Is it because of Hayward?” Gerald didn’t need to be a rocket scientist to figure that one out. He sighed. People wouldn’t treat you well without a reason. Gerald knew this as a fact since there were no such things as free lunches in this world! “Bingo! I just need you to act a little so that I can slightly provoke him! If he takes the bait, he’ll definitely change his mind soon enough! Hayward’s a very petty and narcissistic person so he’ll definitely never be able to accept that I’m going out with someone more outstanding than he is!” replied Lilian with a smile on her face. Gerald sighed as he replied, “Then rather than provoke him, I think he’ll only end up laughing at you if we go along with this plan… I’m nowhere near as outstanding as he is… His family is developing Yorknorth Mountain and he even has a shop there! He’s lightyears better than me!” lied Gerald as naturally as he breathed. “Of course I know that, which is why I specified the word, ‘act’
“Is… This the car you rented?” Once he got into the car, his doubts were cleared. It really was the same Mercedes Benz G500 that he had leased to Quade’s sister, Quartney! This was way too coincidental. “It is. Also, I’m assuming that though you’re acquainted with many rich and young heirs, they don’t usually bring you along to play with them, right? You’ve probably never had the chance to sit in such a good car before, have you Gerald?” said Lilian arrogantly as she drove. “You know, this model costs a full, three hundred thousand dollars! What more, this car is brand-new! Lilian and I paid fifteen thousand dollars each for the deposit just to rent it! Our saving accounts are barren right now!” said Lilian’s friend proudly for some reason. She then took her cell phone out and started recording some videos. “Lilian, why don’t you open the sunroof? I want to stick my head out and take some pictures!” said Lilian’s friend excitedly. “Opening it now! But please control yours
As Lilian had instructed him, Gerald was now acting out the impression of someone nouveau riche. He even sat with his legs crossed. “Our most expensive coffee? Sir, our most expensive one costs forty-five dollars each,” replied the waiter, slightly surprised. “So be it! Nothing is too expensive for me! Two cups of that coffee and make sure they’re brewed perfectly!” “Right away, sir!” said the waiter before bowing and running off. Lilian found it both curious and funny when she saw Gerald acting so ostentatiously while flaunting his wealth. He even shook his watch from time to time to let others see it! Honestly, Lilian hadn’t expected that Gerald could be this cool! By then, Hayward had already noticed Gerald and Lilian sitting next to them. His face turned sour the moment he heard Gerald ordering two cups of coffee which cost forty-five dollars each. What more, wasn’t Lilian being a little too intimate with Gerald? Hayward felt very uncomfortable. He used to have he
“Gerald, is this the new car you bought?” Sharon asked in surprise.“Yeah. I got it a few days ago. Just a means to get from point A to B,” replied Gerald as he casually tossed the keys on the table.This excited but distressed Lilian, as she was afraid that the expensive key to the car would be damaged.What excited her more, though, was that Hayward’s face had already turned green.“By the way, I heard Lilian saying that you've recently bought a car? I haven't seen it yet. What did you get yourself? A BMW 7 Series, a Mercedes-Benz, or an Audi? Worth more than a hundred fifty grand?” Gerald asked with a smile on his face as he looked at Hayward.“Hehe! Hayward procured the Passat for more than thirty grand, but how could that compare to your three hundred thousand dollar car?” scoffed Lilian as she rolled her eyes at Hayward.Hayward inhaled sharply, as his hands started going into an uncontrollable tremor.“Oh? You bought a Passat? Why did you buy that?” replied Gerald with a
